this is not a happy thread anymore
I'm pretty sure you can bear the loss.

I think the Smash and Destiny threads may have been better recent examples. What poor misguided souls were we.

Don't remind me...
Also, I can't believe you were still using Destiny wallpapers for your phone; I saw you asking for P5 wallpapers earlier.

This is why he should've come back in the Arena games, so we could finally learn what his name was.
Or they're just going to continue to re-use the recording from P4, and have the attendants give all the new exposition.

It was more due to laziness. I made new lock and home screen ones today, but not of P5 but my favorite animu.
Obviously the phone backgrounds are bigger lol.

Man, I can't stop watching this trailer. I love superhero games and now we're getting a Persona-style one? And they're finally doing something interesting with the gameplay for the actual dungeons! Plus everything is full of Persona's stylized charm, it reminds me why I can't call P3P the definitive version of P3 but this cranks everything up to 11. I mean... dem menus man, look at dem menus.

Well, I am sure there will be more than just 3 persons and a mascot cat. Persona 3 and 4 has more than that, so no reason to believe there will be only 3 + mascot this time.
Meh, even if the cat turns out to learn stuff like Debilitate or War Cry, I am sure I can manage without it. Never a fan of using mascot character; I rarely used Ken in P3/P3FES/P3P or Teddie back in P4/P4G anyways.

Holy shit I love every single thing about that trailer. Amazing.
Time to point out the obvious stuff that's probably been brought up a hundred times and I didn't notice, the guys at IGN didn't know what it was but yeah, this guy sells equipment apparently.
Above you can read, from top to bottom:
I'm guessing those are: Main Weapon, Secondary Weapon, Armor (Protector according to the video) and Accessory. I can't read many Kanjis but I see the Kanjis for the main weapon and secondary weapon are the same but one.
- Assassin Knife
- Handgun
- Dark Inner
- Fashion Glass
I found it weird that the IGN guys didn't notice that this screen also gives you the name of the Protagonist's Persona.
I may be ultra LTTP on this, but I remember seeing some people expressing doubt at the translation indicating that the game is in fact in a juvenile detention center so I just wanted to say that the phrase 「学園ジュブナイル」 taken from here, pretty much literally 学園 "campus" and ジュブナイル "juvenile". Juvenile is literally juvenile written in katakana, a loanword. They intended to evoke the meaning of that English word. Based on that there is absolutely no way that there's some funky mistranslation going on, it's a juvenile detention center, and it's very common for anyone under 20 in Japan to go there after sentencing.
Basically, if anyone was dubious of this translation, there's no reason to be. Again, probably LTTP but I just wanted to dispel any doubt.

Who? I don't believe such a character existed in Persona 3; otherwise I would have used him in my party a few times.
Oh, thanks for the update! But one of the menus showed that the Protagonist is wearing 秀尽学園高校制服：冬. The bolded is Japanese for "high school uniform," which made me think that they're in high school. Maybe the protagonist used to be in juvenile detention for a short time and then entered Shuujin Academy/High School (秀尽学園

Wait, are we really sure that's his Persona's name?

You must be mistaken, the playable characters in Persona 3 were cool teenagers and an awesome dog, no children.
Ken is an awful character, so let's just ignore him, shall we?
This thread is going fast, man, it's impossible to catch up.
Glad to see so many Persona fans and so many people who didn't play the series before and now are excited for this. That is the true purpose of trailers, to reel newcomers and old fans alike. I'm getting the vibes this game is going to sell like crazy.

Huh, the characters are actually in a juvenile detention center? I thought they were in a normal high school, until now, despite the confusion.

You better be glad this is on PS4, because there's no way I'd let you borrow my PS3 for this shit. HYPE
Edit: sorry for double post. Thread not moving fast enough for late comer hype.

It's been a long day ever since this trailer hit, think I'm gonna suspend the speculative mind set for now.
I will say that despite being a fan of the series, I genuinely think this was a well done trailer. You got a good grasp on the themes, personality, and gameplay, as well as just the right amount of ambiguity to get people talking/speculating.
Hoping our next taste of the game isn't with the PV disc bundled with P4D but much sooner!

lol I expected as much. Prepare for many weekends of us not communicating as each plays this in their respective homes. We could schedule a quick meet-up for food. Then back to man caving.
do those exist in japan, they seem to be a prominent trope
I really never hear about them in the US.

If this turns out to be the case, then I'd be really glad. Seems like it would be a nice twist on the regular high school formula.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
I LOVE THE THEME MUSIC.

edit: ah whoops, misread the initial quote.
But I don't hear about schools for delinquents. But I know that idea is used in battle royale.
edit: ah ok

Still, you'd think that there are probably schools for students who drop out to attend.
A manga called oresama teacher actually deals with this topic, but it is pretty far removed from reality.

The teacher throws a book at protag because he's staring out the window. I guess that I can't make my character into a mega nerd and have him pass all his tests with straight A's lol.

A high school renowned for delinquents having such snobbish-looking uniform seems weird.

This game has so much style!
It's a piece of chalk, actually.

You're trying to make the delinuquents into better people.
Explains why the teacher throws chalk too.
i think most schools in japan have uniforms... at least I thought so
Umm...having uniforms for those type of schools is pretty damn standard.

So you're saying that onizuka is going to be one of the teachers?
